Hi Zryip,
Great lesson - I have a checkbox in a cell. I did have to divert from your lesson slightly. So, below are the additional steps that I took - just in case you want to update your lesson for the following scenario...

I wanted a row 'Select' column of (just) checkboxes, centrally aligned under the Select column heading. To:

1. Hide the checkbox name, clear the checkbox control's Basic Properties 'Show name' checkbox
2. Align the checkbox centrally within the column's cell, simply drag the checkbox control around in the DGH Column Builder's 'Column Content' view - to over the middle of the underlying _ColumnData_ control, as shown here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1909531/checkbox%20in%20DGH%20cell.png  

It works, though I'm not sure if it's best practice?!?

BTW For this list, I want these Row-Select checkboxes to be mutually-exclusive - so that if one is set to true, those in all other rows are cleared. Where should I place such a script - against the _ColumnData_ object or the data grid group level?
Best,
Keith..
